Event Details
| Event: | PDCD161724 - Writing for Publication Retreat - 30/31 May |
|---|---|
| AIMED AT POSTDOCS. Finding time to write up your research can be difficult. This two-day event has been organised to provide researchers with an opportunity to spend time focusing on an important piece of writing, whether it is a journal article, book chapter or research proposal. | |
| The aim of this event is to write, and write a lot... No procrastination, no distractions, no excuses. This is no two-day jolly; this is two days of intensive research writing. You should have a publication you are working on or you are ready to start writing up: a research paper, a book chapter, an important research grant proposal. It's up to you. | |
| Introductions and disconnecting – We will do the usual meet and great, introducing ourselves and say what we are working on. The facilitator, will set the context for the day: to write. As such, we are going to disconnect from the wifi world and concentrate only on writing today. Participants will be introduced to the Pomodoro technique, a time based writing technique used by many productive writers. Other than that the point of the day is to give you space and time away from the campus to truly focus on one thing: your paper/chapter/proposal. It is as simple as that. No distractions other that those you bring yourself. So turn off your phone and any of the many reasons you may have at hand not to write. ''I enjoyed the course, which included some very useful tips on structuring your approach to academic writing, and the process of revising first and subsequent drafts. Dr Soule is a very engaging, informative and approachable presenter.'' - Male, History & Archives | |
